Burst into tears after applying for 3 call centre jobs. I can’t keep being unemployed and no one else is giving me the time of day. Job provider is essentially useless, they haven’t put me forward for anything as far as I know. I wish it was all different, but it feels like no matter what I do nothing changes. And I’ll end up in a call centre again, and I won’t make it out alive this time. There’s no other options anymore. Everything costs so much and I’m nothing.
It’s hard not to think that there’s something fundamentally wrong with me.
I’m tired, boss.
It’s not you, finding a job absolutely sucks. Everyone thinks so backwards when it comes to hiring. You need to fit in a box, but not too much, having too few skills is bad, but having too diverse a skill set is confusing.
You’ll find something and it won’t completely suck soon
thank you, I really appreciate your kind words 🙏
With great respect, FUCK NO, you are not the problem here, my dear 💜 I don’t want to get into the rant that’s brewing in my mind, just sending you love and hugs!
Thank you 🥹💜
so many hugs
You are something wonderful and not the problem
Thank you 💜💜💜
Oh Spud! Doubt I have relevant advice, but you can bend ears if you wish. Much 🖤

Why only call centres? If you’re looking for work that doesn’t require any particular qualification, there are heaps of options. Retail, hospitality, admin, data entry, reception, etc. The process of job hunting is always shit. But hopefully you can find something that is at least in a different industry, so you don’t start out with the past bad experiences on your mind? Sending lucky vibes your way.

I don’t get any responses from other industries tbh. I have applied for retail and warehouse pick packers, but yeah, just silence. No call backs or emails or anything. I have had two or three interviews in the animal industry, but the only industry who seems to want me is call centres - because I have a decade of experience I guess.
I’m just feeling so hopeless rn. I know it will get better, but right now it feels like I’ve wasted so much time.
